Maybe some specifics would help. Are there children in the house, or irresponsible adults?

I'm tall, and one way for me to secure a shotgun from casual misuse and handling would be to mount it inside a closet,at the top. Out of sight and short folks would not reach it w/o much effort.

Or, maybe a triggerlock.

A pump kept cruiser ready, action locked, chamber empty,safety on, mag full, requires several movements to fire. The cogniscenti can do it in a twinkling, but those who don't know have to puzzle it out at length.

Hope this helps...
